Earlier this morning I told you about Jennifer Aniston's interview with People in which she talked about her most recent nose job. Or, as she likes to call it, necessary corrective surgery. Whatever gets her through the night. Now more than ever, it seems plastic surgery is a necessary evil for Hollywooders hoping to stay in the spotlight. Everybody's having something lifted or removed or plumped. There's no such thing as a natural beauty.

In this week's Daily Blabber video, I take a look at some of the celebrities who may have had a little something-something done -- like Jen (natch), Trashlee Simpson, Salma Hayek, Ivanka Trump, Posh Spice, Cameron Diaz, Paris and more -- complete with before and after photos so that you can judge for yourself.

So check it out: Celebrity Plastic Surgery 2

Equus1.jpgNothing creepier to me this morning than the thought of having to see little Harry Potter (aka actor Daniel Radcliffe) in the buff.

Harry is stripping down for a role in a London play called Equus, which is about a disturbed kid who blinds horses. I’m talking full-frontal.

For the folks out there who are into the boy toys – I'm sure Demi isn't the only one -- the show begins previews on Feb. 16 -- but don't bother bringing your camera to capture Harry's manhood for posterity. Pictures aren't allowed in any London theaters and a show spokesman says the staff will be "extra vigilant" about it for Equus.

I'm pretty happy about that.

BRANDONFLOWERSS.jpg
Purely for my own enjoyment... a shot Brandon Flowers of the Killers.

And for your enjoyment... an embarrassing story about me.

So I love the Killers – as I’ve told you. Brandon Flowers is such a showman and I love the way he gets lost in his own songs. Sappy, I know. I’m a total sap. So I’ve been bugging my sis – the one who’s always going to shows – asking if the Killers were coming back to the US on tour. Last Friday she sends an email. They’re coming back. Tickets were on presale the next day but – and it was a big but – you had to be in their fan club to get presale tickets.

Umm... I think the last time I was in a fan club was like Ralph Macchio’s fan club in 1984. (Paint the house, Danielson.) And I probably wasn’t even a legit member because I’m so friggin’ disorganized that I’m sure I never sent in my babysitting money for dues.

Anyway, needless to say, I now have Killers tickets and I’m an official member of the Killers fan club. Don’t be jealous now. Oh – and look for my “free shirt with membership” in a Daily Blabber video coming soon.

Jennifer Aniston hearts People magazine and did a quickie interview with them about her kiss with Courteney Cox, the nose job and more.

On working with CoCo again: "We had a ball. It was completely fun. I forgot just how much fun we have together in the work world."

On "the kiss": "It's a good-bye kiss. I don't honestly think people want to see Rachel and Monica have at it."

On the new schoz:" It's funny. I had [a deviated septum] fixed – best thing I ever did. I slept like a baby for the first time in years. As far as all the other [rumors], as boring as it sounds, it's still mine. All of it. Still mine.... Short of letting everybody have a feel, I don't know what else to do."

Perhaps one of the most boring interviews I've ever read, but I know you guys love your Aniston dish, so have at it.

The former Moesha star isn't smiling her trademark smile today. She's being sued -- for $50 million -- in a wrongful death suit stemming from her December car wreck.

You know that her insurance company will be dishing out the chunk of change, but I can't help but think ole Brandy isn't worth anywhere near $50 mil. Her last album didn't sell. I think her last movie was I Still Know What You Did Last Summer... in the '90s. And I so doubt that America's Got Talent put her into the Olsen income bracket.

I bet she's hawking her swag on eBay as I type... or planning a Tori Spelling type tag sale.

POLICEalbum.jpgWhen I was in middle school and my eldest sister was away at college, I would help myself to her bitchin' collection of concert tees that she left behind in her bedroom... which I had taken over. I got so many compliments from the older kids on my Echo and the Bunnymen shirt. Didn't know who they hell they were, but thought it was cool. Midnight Oil and INXS were faves too. And I loved her Dream of the Blue Turtle tee from Sting's first solo tour.

I'm going on about all this because the big news today is that the Police are reuniting for the Grammys, which take place on February 11. This is a big deal because, as my sis could tell ya all about, they all hated each other when the Police dissolved in 1984. The biggest drama took place between Sting and Stuart Copeland, who probably fought over whose frostilocks looked better. Men!

Word has it that this Grammy reunion will kick off some type of world tour... I'm sure my big sis will be there. L, if you are, pick up a new shirt... on me! I definitely owe you one.

E_KellyClarkson2_136.jpgSince U been gone... I can breathe for the first time...

Any American Idol watchers with me today? I just finished up a new Celebrity Matchmaker game... and the topic is Idol. I didn't start watching the show until about two years ago. I just didn't get what the fuss was about and I definitely didn't think any of the winners would ever become "real stars." Man, was I wrong. Most of 'em are billboard gold. Anyway, in this little take five game, you match the Idol star to their hit album. So put on your thinking caps and give it a shot.

Report back here and tell me how you did.

You know I can't stand Sienna Miller. I'll spare you the whole backstory. But I had to pass along this item -- and video footage -- about the tease and her new BFF, Diddy.

See-See and Diddy were thick as thieves at Sundance last week -- when she wasn't hanging all over Josh Hartnett... or anyone else with testicles. Well now that they're back in New York -- where she is still lingering around for some reason (go home!) -- she's taken to all-night partying episodes with the new daddy. And while it all may be sweet and innocent, it doesn't necessarily seem that way when Diddy, who was wearing a "trapped rat look," goes dancing into her hotel in the wee hours of the morning.

Again, it all could be innocent – I love a good all-night partying session – but if it was, why would Diddy's people try to get the cameraman who recorded footage of them entering the hotel to erase the tape?

Just asking.

The couple that goes to rehab together stays together?

The Sun is reporting that troubled lovebirds Kate Moss and Pete Doherty checked into a rehab facility together yesterday. As one of the UK’s most popular couples, they were clearly recognized when they arrived at Capio Nightingale Hospital, but they registered for treatment using fake names. Kate – who was in rehab in 2005 after the Kate “Hoover Va” Moss coke scandal – reportedly told friends she’s helping her spiritual husband kick drugs once and for all.

“They arrived together and will be supporting each other,” a source told the paper. “They looked very much a couple as they came in and she is clearly worried about him.”

Let’s hope a miracle takes place and rehab works for them this time.

JESSJOHNFLORID.jpg
John Mayer. Jessica Simpson. Grammys. TOGETHER!

Can you solve my little celebrity puzzle, Blabber-ers? Star magazine is reporting that Jessica Simpson will be John Mayer's date at the Grammy's on February 11.

If this goes down, this will be the first public appearance for the undercover lovers who have been hooking up since the summer. Since New Year's Eve they've been making the scene together here and there. But together at the Grammys in front of tons of flashbulbs? That, friends, will be a first.

Do you think John and Jessica will actually do it? Think this story is phony baloney? Talk to me.

In this edition of "It Sucks to be..." I am going to spotlight R&B singing sensation Brandy Norwood. In December, she caused a car accident which resulted in the death of one person. Last week the story broke and it was said that drugs and alcohol weren't factors in the crash. So I thought -- case closed. No such luck. The California Highway Patrol (which is totally the group Ponch was in CHiPs) announced today that it's their recommendation that Brandy be charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter for the fatal freeway crash.

What do you think? Do you think they're just making a big deal about this -- a month after the fact -- because Brandy is a celebrity? Is this a just punishment? Talk back.

PS: I swear this is the only photo of Brandy that I have, which is why I'm running it again. Tomorrow I'm buying a solo pic of Brandy so that I'm not in the photo with a vehicular manslaughter-er. I mean -- I may get kicked out of the PTA... if I had kids and was actually in the PTA.

PPS: See, told 'ya I'd buy a new pic today!

See what a little affair does for a celeb's starpower? Sad but true, Anne Heche is suddenly interesting again now that she's "running lines" with her Men in Trees costar James Tupper.

While the actress won't confirm that their reel love is now real love, here's what she told Entertainment Tonight about the actor:

"We have a beautiful relationship . . . I think people like to read a lot into the chemistry we have on the show, and I think it's fantastic. We all have a lot of chemistry. We love each other, we're like a family here, we all go out on the weekends. I'm obviously going through something personal in my life, and I don't know what is going to happen in my future."

Let me translate: They're sleeping together. They hope the ratings go up. She'll probably like women again in a month, so she's just enjoying things while they last.

"A GOOD old-fashioned sex tape pretty much guarantees you a star on Hollywood Boulevard."
- Aaron Eckhart to Fade In magazine

America had yet another beautiful night. The Grey's Anatomy kids -- minus crazy Isaiah Washington -- did too. You gotta hand it to actors -- there's nothing they like more than celebrating... themselves! Check out the highlights and lowlights of the show that awards TV and movie actors in the Best & Worst of the 2007 SAG Awards photo recap.

There's been major speculation that Jennifer Lopez became a Scientologist because all of her new BFFs like Leah Remini, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are all devotees, but in a recent interview she maintains that she's Catholic. However, Jen did let slip that she has a connection to the organization -- her father has been a Scientologist for 20 years!

"My dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years -- and he's the best man I know in my life. It's weird to me that people want to paint [Scientology] in a negative way. Like I said -- I, myself, am Catholic, so it's a different thing. But it's sad to me that people would look at it in that way."

That's the first time I heard that one. Well now if she does start dabbling, she can say she's been around Scientology her whole life. I bet that will be next. She's just taking baby steps for now.

In December, Angelina Jolie told Larry King that her mother was winning her long battle against ovarian cancer, saying "She's doing good" and "She's very strong and her spirit remains unbroken."

Sadly, 56-year-old Marcheline Bertrand lost her battle over the weekend. When she passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Saturday, she was surrounded by her kids, Angelina and James Haven, as well as Angie's BF, Brad Pitt.

Marcheline trained to be an actress under the famous acting coach Lee Strasberg, but put her career on hold to start a family with Jon Voight. The couple split shortly after having their two children and Marcheline raised them on her own. She had been battling cancer for over seven years.

So sad.

ChandraWilsonARM.jpgAfter the red carpet shuts down and it's showtime, the best part of award shows are the acceptance speeches. And I'll tell you right now that I'm a huge sap -- I sit there on my couch getting all choked up. It's pathetic. That's why I prefer to watch award shows alone. Anyway, the people behind the Screen Actors Guild Awards have been kind enough to transcribe last night's acceptance speeches for us. So this morning you can sit in your cubicle and shed a tear or two... or post a comment telling me what a loser I am for crying at award shows. Your call.

A couple of my faves:
CHANDRA WILSON, Grey's Anatomy: Okay. Well, I’m sorry, Paul, I got your dress all wrinkled… First of all, it’s about those 10 cast members sitting over there, and the other one in rehab. I mean, y’all are just… [laughter] holding me together. I thank you so much, ‘cause we pull this thing off every week. I love you all for it. Thank you, Shonda, for wanting me to do this role. Lord, bless your heart. And everything that you write for us, all those long things that you give me to say, do I have to keep saying all that stuff, those long paragraphs. Okay, thank you. To… oh my goodness, my family here, Mikey, at home the girls. Thank you so much for going on this ride with me, for having an agent and a manager that have been with me 15 and 19 years, respectively. For holding on to me, thank you so much. To – oh Lord – George Wolfe told me, “Look girl, you’re already talented or else you wouldn’t be in the room. So just go and do the work.” George said, “Just try to do the work every day.” And my friends, I feel you, so many wonderful friends I’m so lucky to have. And last but not least, just to be able to take this thing home to my girls, in particular, and hold it in front of them and say, “Look, with this skin and this nose, and this height, and these arms,” you know, “I’m here!” Whoo! Thank you Screen Actors Guild for taking me as I am. Thank you. Whoo!

E_GiseleTomBrady_136.jpgTom Brady is officially a shacker. Paparazzi spotted him leaving new gal pal, supermodel Gisele's apartment in NYC around noon on Thursday. Hehe. I always thought the walk of shame was funny in college, but when Tom Brady does it, it's so much better.

TMZ is reporting that a photog told the QB, "You're a lucky man." But Brady wasn't having any of it. "Come on brother, you're making me angry," he said before getting into a cab.

Next time, Tom, call a driver. And skip the hood over your face thing. It just makes you look suspicious. Besides, it's Gisele. What are you embarrassed about? The cat's outta the bag.

Baby Spice, aka Emma Bunton, said she's "handing over the 'Baby' tag now to a deserving little new owner." The former Spice Girl and her boyfriend of eight years, Jade Jones announced they are expecting but didn't say when the baby is due.

The couple called the news "a great start to the New Year."

In December, after being diagnosed with endometriosis which can make getting pregnant difficult, Emma told the British tab, The Mirror, "Obviously I'd like to try for my own first. But I would be open to adoption."

Congrats!

E_VictoriaBeckham_68.jpgJust think, in 15 years or so they'll be a whole new generation of Spice Girls (and boys). Mel B is currently preggers with baby number two, Geri Halliwell gave birth to a daughter less than a year ago, and then there's Posh, who has been school shopping in L.A. for her brood of three.

biel_jeter_070104_03(2).jpgI love that John Mayer keeps -- and updates -- his blog. First, he goes off on Isaiah Washington, and now this. He was asked 10 questions by Andrew Miller, a wannabe journalist who chosen in conjunction with Rolling Stone's, "I'm With Rolling Stone," reality show. So, John did what any good blogger would do. He posted his fairly witty answers about smoking weed and such online.

My favorite question, however, was if John had ever purchased girlfriend Jessica Simpson's music. His answer?

"I lisen to most new music released every week."

Hahahahahaha. Can you get any more noncommittal than that? He couldn't even be bothered to spell check "listen!" Hysterical. The Creamsicle is so breaking up over this one. Although who knows, maybe he'll get lucky and Jess won't realize what a slap in the face that answer was. I almost feel bad for her. Almost.

--Lindsey

Chad Lowe has never really done it for me. There's just no comparing him to Rob The-Love-Of-My-Life Lowe. I've always found Chad to be blah. Even his relationship and subsequent divorce to Hilary Swank was a bit blah. But I have to give the guy a little credit. He really does sound genuine when he thanks the Swank for standing by him in this interview with People.

"I was disappointed with her decision to go public with my sobriety," he says. "But I don't deny that I had a problem and that it strained our relationship. Was this the reason it ended? No. I've been sober for nearly four years and have never felt better. (I'm) forever grateful to Hilary for her support."

Chad also talks about his new gal pal, producer Kim Painter. It all sounds very blah.

What do you guys think of Chad Lowe? Love him? Hate him? Think he's blah?

--Lindsey

Apparently being Jude Law's little lady is a tough job. Sienna Miller gave this sob story to People at the Sundance Film Festival:

biel_jeter_070104_03(2).jpg
"I was probably perceived for a long time as someone who was just famous for? well, for a reason, but wasn't taken seriously as an actress," she said. "People didn't want to pay attention to the fact that I actually took my work quite seriously.''

And we still don't. Sorry See-See.

--Lindsey

Victoria Beckham, who has bragged that she has never read a book in her life, has a blog, people. Oh, this is going to provide me with minutes of entertainment.

Here's a sample entry from the LA transplant's writing:

"I've been so touched by the support from all the people we've met. People in the street have been calling out things like 'Welcome home, we're so excited you're here.' That has been fantastic, and one of the best things about this trip."

I think la Posh should tell the truth. The only people saying things like 'Welcome home" and "We're so excited you're here" are the folks at the Scientology Celebrity Centre. And in between those sweet sentiments, they're whispering something else: cha-ching.

In an ongoing effort to provide you with Jared Leto sucks stories...

Elijah Wood -- yes, the 4'10, 95lb., peace lovin' Hobbit -- tells Jane magazine about how Jared Leto tried to start a rumble with him at an award show last year.

"He was basically upset at the fact that I said I didn't like his band," Elijah told the mag. "He said that initially and then walked away." Then things got kicked up a notch. "I guess he thought I was laughing at him, but I was more shell-shocked and telling people around me, 'Whoa, I just got told off by Jared Leto for not liking his band.' And that's when he came back and grabbed me... I told Jared it wasn't personal. He acted like I'd been disrespecting him or speaking about his family. Things like that don't generally happen to me. I'm very non-confrontational. The whole thing was kind of ridiculous."

Apparently Jared had read the January/February 2003 issue of Blender, in which the Lord of the Rings star told an interviewer, "I would never try to be like other actors and attempt to make [music] myself. I mean, have you heard 30 Seconds to Mars? ... F---ing awful, man!"

Yes -- an interview from 2003. I can't remember things that I said last week let alone four years ago. Talk about holding a grudge. Further, if Jared is starting to beat down Hobbits, I just don't think anyone on Earth is safe.

Faster than you can say "Derek Jeter and Jessica Biel make a cute couple," they've split. Which means? For one thing, Jessica is free to pursue Justin Timberlake, which seems to be her plan. As for Derek -- well, he's already rebounding with Gabrielle Union, who will keep him busy until baseball starts again.
The spark between Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson just won't fizzle out.

According to the New York Daily News, Owen and Kate are together right now in Australia, where Kate is filming Fool's Gold with Matthew McConaughey. They had split late last year after Owen skipped out on their Christmas and New Year's Eve plans because he didn't want to tangle with her family.

"Owen backed out because he didn't want to deal with the whole situation with her family," a source tells the paper. "There's [estranged husband Chris Robinson] and the baby, and also Goldie [Hawn] and Kurt [Russell] don't approve of the relationship."

So what do you think? Do you think Kate and the Butterscotch Stallion have staying power? Or are they prolonging their inevitable split? Talk back.

My sister Joyce never used to watch TV. Actually -- that's a lie. She would only watch ER, and when I'd call her between 10 and 11 on Thursdays, she'd practically hang up on me. Priorities! Anyway, she's branched out and now she's watching a bunch of shows -- like Top Chef, which is another one I get hung up on if I dare interrupt.

Joy: There's this little thing called a DVR...

Anyway, last night she caught her first bit of American Idol ever. (Yep, this is season six. At least it's good she doesn't follow the crowd.) It was a great first show to watch and she was laughing so hard. I think the highlight was that last chick, Isadora (aka "Julie"), who was a singing clairvoyant. She sang moaned the song "Lady Marmalade." It really didn't get better than that. Simon stood up and was like: I’m going home.

Ryan Seacrest, with his five o'clock shadow, amused me too. He kept trying to guess Isadora's real name... to her utter annoyance. I didn't know he could be funny. He should try that more often.

I really hope that the actual competition is good this year. It’s going to be hard to top the freak show audition thing right now. Who are these people?

Check out a recap of last night's American Idol: New York in TV Cocktail.

I don’t like Kirsten Dunst. Her voice goes right through me and she reminds me of this skanky girl from high school. (Grow up, Suzy!) My friend Natalie is going to be outraged by my anti-Kiki declaration as she loves her from Bring it On.

I'm sexy, I’m cute, I’m popular to boot.

Anyway, Kirsten has become a dating machine out there in La La Land. According to Us Weekly, she had lunch with Drew Barrymore’s ex, Fabrizio Moretti, on January 22. They’re friends but she wants more. Two weeks earlier she was putting the moves on The O.C.’s Adam Brody at the nightclub Hyde. More recently, she hooked up with Entourage’s Adrien Grenier.

Okay – so I’m a little jealous about that last one.

Apparently Kiki has been devastated since she broke up with Jake Gyllenhaal in 1980 2004 and has yet to find a guy she really likes. Poor thing. Let's hope that one of these fellas works out for her... though she's going to bring on the drama from Drew and Adam's ex, Rachel Bilson.

"This is a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again."
-- Isaiah Washington on checking into rehab for "psychological counseling" to treat his addiction to the f word

It seems like there's a rehab for everything, right? Maybe O.J. Simpson, the one guy in Hollywood who hasn't been forgiven, should check into rehab for murderers and America will love him once again. Oh wait -- rehab for murderers is jail.

Back to Isaiah... What a joke! I'd love to see him get the boot from Grey's Anatomy so we can start focusing on the show and not understanding why he did what he did.

MATTMANSON.jpg
I don't know if this story -- from the new edition of Pop Bitch -- is true, but it's definitely a funny read and one of those things that I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it's true. Stranger things have happened in Hollywood.

Hope you're not eating your breakfast... It may cause you to throw up your Yoplait.

L.A. stars Matt Dillon and Marilyn Manson often bump into each other at Hollywood parties, awards shows and VIP events. Manson always says "hello" to Dillon. And Dillon always publicly blanks the goth rocker.

The feud dates back to a party in Los Angeles a couple of years ago. Manson went to the toilet to take a pee and, mid-stream, decides to spit his chewing gum into the urinal. Somehow he misses, and the gum sticks in his pubic hair. Perturbed, Manson wanders back into the party and asks if anyone has a pair of scissors on them. Matt Dillon replies that he has a pair in his bag and would be happy to lend them.

So Manson wanders off and carefully cuts the gum away from his penis. When he brings the scissors back to Dillon, the actor gets curious, and asks why the singer needed them. Embarrassed but amused, Manson decides to explain. At that point Dillon cuts him off with a look of disgust... and has not spoken to him since.

Anne-Heche-and-husband-Wenn.jpg
Another one bites the dust! Anne Heche and her husband, Coley Laffoon, are the latest celebrity duo to split. Entertainment Tonight is reporting that Ellen's ex is romantically involved with her Men In Trees costar, James Tupper.

Of course!

Anne and Coley have one kid.

Take a nice long look at Jennifer Aniston's schnoz. Why? Because Us Weekly is reporting -- in their new issue -- that she had a nose job, courtesy of the guy who transformed Ashlee Simpson into an Olsen. This surgery reportedly took place on January 20 in Beverly Hills. And the reason for the nose job is that she's wanted one for more than a decade... to fix the the bad one she had 12 years ago.

Can't wait to see if she looks like a new person a la Jennifer Grey... or if this will be more of a Cameron Diaz situation.

Suz-and-Brandy.jpgThis totally isn't gonna be funny... My girl Brandy reportedly killed somebody!

No, she didn't go O.J. on us. She was involved in a car accident on December 30 -- in which someone died -- and it appears to be her fault.

According to TMZ.com, Brandy was on the 405 Freeway in LA doing 65 in her 2007 Land Rover. She didn't notice that the cars in front of her slowed down and she plowed into one of them. That car hit another car -- a 2005 Toyota -- which then crashed into the center divider. As the Toyota came to a stop, it was hit by another car. The driver of the smashed up Toyota was taken to the hospital and died!

Apparently drugs or alcohol weren't factors in the crash, so Brandy wasn't arrested. So crazy! Reminds me of when Mrs. McSteamy -- Rebecca Gayheart -- ran down that boy back in 2001.

Tragic!

E_KirkDouglasMichael_136.jpgI'm tired, hungry and cranky this morning afternoon. And something I don't want to read about when I'm tired, hungry and cranky? Kirk Douglas's sexual history. Yes, the 90-year-old father of Michael Douglas, who himself ain't much to look at -- that wrinkly prune, is sharing his sex secrets in a new book -- Let's Face It - 90 Years of Living, Loving and Learning -- that I recommend you never buy.

Some lowlights:

  • He lost his virginity to his high school English teacher.

  • He was obsession with a some redhead when he was a school kid and wrote her love notes with words like "ecstasy."

  • He talks about sleeping with a "big, tall blond" German stewardess. He shares that they had enthusiastic sex sessions in which she would scream, 'I'm a Nazi!' -- which was his cue to slap her.

    It's stories like this for which the term "too much information" was coined.

  • I have a meeting first thing today so we'll have to start Blabbing a little later today. But to keep you entertained, here's a recap of last night's American Idol: Memphis.

    I've learned to expect the unexpected in Memphis.

    For one, Paula was extremely calm and normal. And to top that -- there were a few contestants who proved my quick prejudging skills were on the fritz.

    Some call him Osama, others Jesus, Castro or even a homeless bum. What about the next American Idol? When it comes down to it, Sean Michel says, "all of us are homeless. All of us are poor inside." This cat is loaded -- with vocal talent.

    E_StarJonesDog_136.jpgI'm an animal lover, so I get stars who talk about their pets. It's cute. But I think it's a little weird when they tote them everywhere (like in their purses!) and I find it downright freaky when I see photos of people kissing their dogs on the lips or, worse, having a dog eat a treat out of their mouth. It makes me want to chugalug an antiseptic.

    Some celeb doggies are famous in their own right. Drew Barrymore's dog Flossy was thrust into the spotlight in 2001 after she saved Drew from a house fire. Just last week it was pretty much the same deal with Salma Hayek, whose dog woke her up the day of the Golden Globes and alerted her to a gas leak. Mariah Carey's dog is so friggin' famous that it has fan site! A few of them. Some are run by some of Mariah's Japanese fans. Bizarre...

    Anyway, I'm dishing about Star Jones, Britney Spears, Natalie Portman, Kate Bosworth and a bunch of other celebrity dog owners in my new Blabber video, so check it out... or I'll show my fangs.

    Celebrities = endless enjoyment. Case in point? A reported IM exchange between Anna Nicole Smith and her possible baby daddy Larry Birkhead (above left). TMZ.com claims to have obtained this interactive bitch out between the two, who are supposed to settle their paternity debate with a DNA test today. Doesn't look like that is happening. Anyway... Be warned: There's some naughty language -- I don't care, but y'all might.

    Anna Nicole quit trash me at the casino
    Larry not at a casino
    Anna Nicole go f**k my mom to
    Anna Nicole Yall are sick
    Larry show up for the test with the baby\
    Anna Nicole don't think so
    Anna Nicole u wish
    Larry everybody just want u to do right thing is all
    Anna Nicole in your dreams

    "Go f**k my mom to"? Wow -- that's a good one. I'll try that one right after I use Josh Hartnett's "Get f---ed."

    Anyway, this DNA test is to determine whether Larry or Howard K. Stern is the father of Anna's daughter, Dannie Lynn Hope. I guess it will be a bit longer until we actually know.

    I became a Zach Braff fan late in the game. Garden State was the first time I really got him. And then when I was in London a few months back, I found myself at a showing of Last Kiss, which I absolutely loved. So I'm pumped up for his new movie -- tentatively called Fast Track -- which opens March 9.

    I know it's a long way off, but the movie poster just arrived in my inbox (with the wrong release date on it!) so I had to share. It costars Jason Bateman (another fave!) and Amanda Peet.

    The synopsis is after the jump...

    “I’ve never been drunk."

    Yet another thing that makes me laugh. Between Paris pleading guilty and this, I'm going to burn a lot of calories today laughing.

    Although Paris Hilton claimed she was merely hungry the night she was arrested for a DUI, she pleaded no contest yesterday to one count of alcohol-related reckless driving.

    HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

    Sorry. I'll stop. I just can't stand that wicked girl.

    Lindsey was kind enough to put together a list of Oscar nominations. Check it. It will make her happy that she didn't start working this morning at 8:30 for nothing.

    PS: Three cheers to Ryan Gosling, who got a lead actor nom. So hope he brings Rachel McAdams on the big night. They're one of my favorite couples... even though she's been rocking some pink hair lately and he has a porn star stache. At least they're different.

    Being in the Florida sun with John Mayer must be a dream come true for tanorexic Jessica Simpson.

    Here's what the odd couple is up to, according to People.com...

  • On Monday, they worked out together at their Miami hotel. First yoga, then they lifted weights.

  • That night, they arrived hand-in-hand at The Shore Club's Nobu restaurant. They were there for over two hours -- eating and talking. There was also some hand holding. He paid the bill.

    "They looked really cute together," one witness at Nobu told People.com. "They were talking and laughing the whole time. She was constantly fixing herself to make sure she looked her best for him."

    Meanwhile, I keep reading all these stories that Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are engaged. Not sure if it's true... or how much I care. But I can see it happening sooner rather than later. Nick is a romantic and is probably ready to give marriage another try.

  • I love passing along items that portray freaky Jared Leto for the wacky nut job that he is. Here's the perfect one, courtesy of Page Six.

    Jared Leto was in a foul mood at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on Saturday night. Leto, who was promoting Chapter 27 (in which he plays John Lennon's assassin) picked fights with photographers and clubgoers in the VIP section of Tao at Harry O's. When a photographer from WireImage attempted to snap Leto's picture, the eyeliner- clad cad shouted, "No! No more, bro!" Leto walked out - but not before a "big guy" yanked at his long tresses. Leto "whipped off his hat with earflaps on and stepped up to the guy," said a spy. "They were yelling at each other." But no punches were thrown. And though Leto left, he came back a couple hours later to look for the guy.

    Hate. That. Clown.

    Are Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams secretly married? That's the big question posed by Page Six this morning.

    Last month, there were rumors that the Brokeback Mountain costars had applied for a marriage license in Brooklyn, where they live with their daughter, Matilda. At the time, friends of the couple said they would likely get hitched at a local church and have a small party. Today, Page Six reports that Heath was spotted wearing a wedding ring yesterday.

    Did they secretly do the deed? Their lips are sealed -- and their reps aren't talking.. or returning emails. I hope it's true though -- I love them.

    How hokey.

    I told you how Jennifer Aniston is going to be guest starring on best Friend Courteney Cox's show, Dirt. Well now comes word that Jen is going to play a lesbian character and -- of course -- she's going to share a kiss with Courteney's character.

    "Aniston's character is a lesbian," said Michael Ausiello of TVGuide.com. "What's more, she won't just mouth off to Cox's tightly wound counterpart; she's going to share a lip lock with her."

    Talk about a ratings gimmick.

    Are being announced right now. Dreamgirls didn't get a nod for best direction or film -- just Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy for supporting. Ryan Gosling got a nod for lead actor. Love him. No Brad Pitt, which means Brangelina probably won't attend, so no awkward moment on the red carpet this time. No Jack Nicholson either which is fine -- he already has a slew.

    Will print the whole list shortly.

    This weekend, I stood in line for two freaking hours with my BFF Lauren to see the Annie Leibowitz exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum. She's the infamous photographer whose taken shots of just about everybody in Hollywood -- including those first pics of Suri Cruise with Tom and Katie on the cover of Vanity Fair.

    She's also the one who took that famous shot of Demi Moore naked when she was pregnant. After seeing those photographs up close, I have to tell you, they are fabulous. Very tasteful and very real. Very uncreepy.

    E_HeidiKlumSeal_136.jpgApparently, Demi's not the only who likes showing off her naked bump. According to the Daily News, Heidi Klum and Seal also like to express their sensuality. A pal of the couple tells the paper, "There are big naked photo portraits of them, with the kids [Leni and Henry]." The nude images, a private commission, appear to have been taken before Klum was pregnant with her most recent child, Johan. Apparently, they leave no doubt what she sees in Seal. "They are tasteful but, you know, confronting," says the source.

    Hmm, you gotta wonder how those kids will feel about the family portrait when they're older, though!

    E_NicoleKidmanKeith_136.jpgI admit, I have a big soft spot for country singers. So, I found the latest video message Keith Urban left on his website particularly touching. He talks about rehab, why he stayed so long and what life was like before he got help:

    "What it was, was a lot of small things that were happening in my life, and a lot of small moments that were starting to accumulate that were telling me very loud and clear that I was a long way from my program of recovery, and they were making my life unmanageable," he says.

    "Abstinence was one thing, but then there was all this other area of my life to start learning about," he says. "Thirty days became 60, and 60 days became 90. And with each week that passed, I found myself really learning to surrender."

    Dear Sir Paul,
    I totally would have married you for $5 million. I swear I wouldn't have been as annoying as Heather. I cook for myself and I'm used to my apartment, so I don't need a mansion. I don't use a bedpan either. We'd definitely have to have worked out the whole kissing thing -- you've a far cry from the "Cute Beatle" these days now that you're pushing 70. But seriously -- $5 million. I would have been such a catch.
    Suzy

    Update: Heather's peeps deny the deal.

    STARSNAP_ROMREB.jpg
    Stars are always on the go -- and not just shopping and clubbing! They're working on those marvelous bodies that I envy so much... as I sit here on my rump eating cheese and crackers. In Star Snapshots, I've compiled photos of lots of different celebrities breaking a sweat. See Steve Carrell run... instead of just being funny. Then there's Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell pedaling away and Jessica Biel working out with her trainer.

    Just looking at these photos will make you feel like you got a work out. Seriously. On that note, I think I'm going to go back to bed for a bit.

    Keri Russell: I swore Lindsey told you on Friday that Keri Russell is pregnant, but I don't see it. So if I'm repeating it, feel free to give me crap in the comments below. Anyway... Felicity is pregnant! The baby isn't Noel's or Ben's -- the daddy-to-be is actually Keri's fiance, Shane Deary. Their first child together will make his or her debut this summer.

    Jenna Elfman: After 16 years of marriage -- a downright miracle in Hollywood -- Jenna and Bodhi Elfman are expecting their first child together. No word on when the little Elf will arrive, but the couple's rep tells E! that they are "overjoyed" they're expecting.

    Lauren Ambrose: Six Feet Under star Lauren Ambrose is a mother. She and her husband, Sam Handel, welcomed a son last Tuesday in New York. His name is Orson. "The family is very happy, the baby is happy and Lauren is doing great," a friend of the couple told People. Lovely!


    Is Justin Timberlake under Alyssa Milano's spell once again?

    On Friday night, Justin and Alyssa hit Jet in Las Vegas -- along with a posse of peeps including Eva Longoria -- and danced the night away. After the bar, they went to the Fantasy Tower at the Palms and played some late-night basketball, setting tongues a waggin' that Justin and Alyssa may have rekindled a fire that first sparked in 2002.

    If you don't remember, I'll give you a quick refresher: After breaking up with Britney in 2002, Justin and Alyssa spend time quality together clubbing and even golfing. Nothing came out of it and shortly after JT hooked up with Cameron.

    But now that Justin's single again, Alyssa is back on his radar. Wonder what his other rumored paramour Scarlett Johansson thinks about that one.

    "I could post my picture and say, 'People tell me I look like Alec Baldwin.' They'll go, 'Oh, I hate him' or 'Who the hell is he?' "

    -- Alec Baldwin joking to Glamour about how he may start online dating

    Britney told the paparazzi on Wednesday night that she was no longer dating her boy toy of the nano-second, model Isaac Cohen.

    E_Mardi_Josh3_325.jpg

    Boooring. Someone wake me up when she starts dating someone who doesn't look like K-Fed.

    IsaiahMayer.jpgJohn Mayer clearly has no reason to weigh in on the Isaiah Washington debacle (which he fully admits to), but at least he's doing more than just giving his opinion. He's actually offering up a solution to help make Dr. Burke as good a person off-screen as he is on.

    On his blog, John writes:

    "I would like to offer my suggestion for a solution; produce an episode of Grey's Anatomy in which Mr. Washington's character, Dr. Burke comes out to his friends and colleagues as a gay man!!! What better way for an actor to get to the roots of his discrimination than by portraying the very the subject of his own ire for the remainder of his contract? That'll learn ya!"

    John then goes on to outline an entire possible episode where Burke comes out. Hilarious. Think it'll work?

    Remind me again why this guy is hanging out with Jessica Simpson?

    E_ParisHilton2_89.jpgIt's Friday, which is all the more reason to make fun of Paris. (As if you ever needed an excuse!) Page Six is reporting that she visited a plastic surgeon to fix her drooping left eyelid, which was the cause of a previous eyelift six years ago. As usual, her rep says Paris has never had plastic surgery that he knows about. Apparently, Paris' blue colored contacts have made the left lid sag more than usual. Gee, I always thought that eye looked closed from too much partying.

    E_Oprah_136.jpgIs anyone shocked that Oprah and her $1,500 million topped the Forbes' Richest 20 Women in Entertainment list? No? Didn't think so. Girl makes more money in about a minute than most of us do in a year! Hey, O, can I have like 0.0001% of your yearly salary?? That'd be great, thanks!

    E_Olsens2_136.jpgAlso on the list? Everyone's favorite mom-tart to tease, Miss Britney. I seriously can't believe the train wreck (who landed the #12 spot) makes as much money ($100 million) as those darn Olsen twins. Did that many people honestly buy Curious, or whatever her perfume was called? And speaking of Mary Kate and Ashley, could someone please remind them that they're child stars? They should be having meltdowns, not making millions!

    Keep reading to find out who else made the cut, and tell me if any of the women on the list surprised you. Judge Judy, anyone?

    E_KevinFederline3_136.jpgBritney might have lost her own Super Bowl commercial to Paris (again!), but I'm guessing she's more humiliated by being beat out by her former dead-beat husband. K-Fed's set to rack in the dough all by himself by doing what he does best -- no, it's not getting the crap kicked out of him on WWE, but you're close. He's going to star in a commercial for Nationwide Mutual Insurance that makes fun of himself. How original. I'll so watch, though.

    He's said to be daydreaming about his big-time rap career while he's actually flippin' burgers. Sounds pretty much like K-Fed's real world to me.

    Would you rather watch a Super Bowl commercial starring Britney or this one of the Fedster poking fun at himself?

    E_BritneyParis_136.jpgRemind me never to get into a fight with Paris Hilton (because we hang out like ALL the time...). I don't really understand why, but she's seems to come out on top a lot of the time. This time, she pretty much had her two-second BFF Britney kicked off the guest list for the Vienna Opera Ball. The bimbettes were supposed to attend the Austrian ball together, but when they had their tiff last month, the hosts chose Paris over Brit.

    There are two things that have me a bit perplexed here:
    1. Why would anyone pay Paris $1 million bucks to attend their party?
    2. What business does Paris or Britney have at an Austrian ball? If I were an opera singer, I would so be offended to have them associated with the very name opera!

    --Lindsey

    After getting crap from ABC, Grey's Anatomy's Isaiah Washington issued an apology this evening for using the word "faggot" in the press room the Golden Globes in response to October's alleged gay slur incident involving his costar T.R. Knight.

    The incident -- which had pretty much been put to rest -- exploded again on Monday at the Globes when Isaiah interrupted his executive producer boss at the podium of the press room to announce to the media that he "never called T.R. a faggot."

    Read his apology after the jump.

    E_PaulaAbdul_136.jpgE_RosieODonnell2_136.jpg
    Rosie O'Donnell is starting yet another feud. This time her punching bag is... Paula Abdul. While discussing the sometimes harsh auditions segments that American Idol will air for the next few weeks (read recaps of the Minneapolis and Seattle episodes here), The View cohost basically called Paula a drunk.
    "Isn't that what America thinks is entertainment?" Rosie asked. "To make fun of someone's physical appearance and then when they leave the room laugh hysterically at them – three millionaires, one probably intoxicated. The whole thing, it's terribly sad to me."

    I can't wait to hear Paula's slurring, unintelligible response to this one!

    RachaelRay.jpg
    I don't want to ruin your day but I have to pass along this unpleasant news:

    Rachael Ray's talk show has been picked up through 2009-10!

    The one thing that I've learned about Rachael is -- well, in addition to the fact that her husband has a spit fetish -- that people either love her... or despise her. For example, my friend Joe Valentine h-a-t-e-s her, her perkiness and all that "evoo" crap. Whereas his wife, Christina, loves her, watches her show and uses her cooking tips. I have to say that I know way more "haters" than "lovers" when it comes to R-squared.

    Despite this, we're stuck with the broad until 2010... which seems forever and a day away.

    Couple_BritneyCohen_blab.jpg
    I'm sure you've noticed that I haven't mentioned Britney's new boyfriend. I was hoping the K-Fed look-alike was just a fling and that he too would pass. But Us Weekly is reporting that the wife beater lover, Isaac Cohen, is changing diapers, so you know what that means -- Britney's probably going to marry the sleazeball! Though she's not having his baby... yet!

    She'd so so much smarter if she just wrote him a check for $10 million and called it a day.

    Which brings me to... Britney's fondness for this fella. She digs him. She thinks he's supafly. She probably braids his armpit hair when he wears said wife beaters. But would you? No, not braid his armpit hair... Would you date the guy? Hold hands? Play kissy face?

    I want you to rate Britney's new mate. Cool? Drool? Fool? Put in your two cents.

    E_RyanSeacrest_136.jpgE_AngelinaJolie4_136.jpg
    So we weren't the only one wondering what was up Angelina's famous behind on Golden Globes night. Ryan Seacrest, who conducted the most painful Angelina interview ever during the preshow, talked about her 'tude on his radio show yesterday. And Simon's whipping boy was not pleased.

    “I asked her four questions and she didn’t even answer me,” Ryan complained. “I literally stood there and tried to ask a couple of questions. At one point I just kind of let the E! microphone sit in front of her for a second to see if she was going to acknowledge it, and she clearly wanted nothing to do with me or my question or my answer or any of it.”

    When his cohost chick came to Angie’s defense suggesting do-gooder Angie may find award shows a waste of time and money, Ryan answered: "Well then don’t go. Don’t go. Don’t go support your man. Don’t go."

    As for Brad, Ryan said he was "fantastic”... probably because Ryan thinks he's hot.

    File this under Ick, Yuck, Gross...

    DrewBruce.jpg

    Apparently Drew Barrymore and Bruce Willis were "making out in front of everybody" at some Golden Globes parties.

    Imagine if those two stick together or, god forbid, marry. They could go on double dates with Ashton and Demi. And when Demi and Bruce are really old, youngins Drew and Ashton could ditch them and hook up.

    What a happy little family that would be.

    Bachelor-Swap.jpg
    It seems like ratty Prince Lorenzo Borghese has dumped one bachelorette for another.

    When things didn't work out with the Bachelor: Rome winner Jennifer Wilson, Lorenzo gave his first runner-up, Sadie the virgin, a call. According to Us Weekly, they are now "spending time together" and Sadie Murray is moving to New York -- where her prince lives -- to pursue her publicity career.

    Well, you know what they say -- if at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

    E_LindsayLohanDrink_136.jpgAfter not-so-quietly attending AA meetings for the last few months, Lindsay Lohan has checked into rehab.

    Us Weekly says Lindsay is currently detoxing at the Wonderland Center, a rehab facility in L.A.'s Laurel Canyon. (Don't you love the name Wonderland Center? It sounds like an amusement park.) She checked in today at 2:30pm... probably a few minutes after waking up from last night's festivities.

    Lindsay issued this statement through her rep:

    "I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal health. I appreciate your well-wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this time."

    Lindsay -- who is reportedly hooking up with Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis these days -- didn't go the Golden Globes on Monday, but she did hit an after party. According to Us, she partied until 6am on Tuesday morning and "she was totally out of it" the whole time.

    Whelp, it sounds like rehab is a good place for her to be then, right?

    Update: Lindsay mom, Dina, who parties more than LiLo sometimes, issued this statement:

    "I'm so proud of her. She's really in a good place right now, spiritually and mentally. She's in an amazing, phenomenal place. She's 20 and she's solid, and she's doing what she needs to do. I don't know that many people who are that secure. It's all about her, and getting back on track. She's fine -- she's amazingly fine."

    Right... because everyone who enters rehab the day after a major bender is "amazingly fine." Dina probably just wants her daughter to hurry home so that she can continue to get her into the hot parties. No wonder Lindsay is such a mess.

    Sienna Miller doesn't want you to be interested in her love life... yet all she does it put the moves on famous guys.

    According to People.com, See-See was getting cozy with Josh Hartnett at Chateau Marmont last night. They reportedly sat "side-by-side on a couch in the hotel restaurant's living room area, laughing and chatting for about an hour before they were joined by a female friend of Miller's. But they kept things intimate – at one point, Miller stood in front of a seated Hartnett, who held on to her thigh with his hand. The pair eventually headed out, cocktails in hand, to the hotel's poolside bungalow area."

    So to those of you keeping track, Josh just broke up with Scarlett Johansson, who is now supposedly getting frisky with Justin Timberlake, who fought with his ex Cameron Diaz on Monday night. See-See was engaged to Jude Law until he started playing hopscotch with the babysitter... Since then, she's been linked to Daniel Craig, James Franco, Hayden Christiansen and Leonardo DiCaprio.

    Whew!

    E_TeriHatcherStephen_136.jpgTeri Hatcher has been dating Stephen T. Kay for about five minutes, but she's already declaring her love for him. Know what that means? She's totally getting dumped.

    "I'm not single anymore," the actress told Extra Monday night at the Golden Globes. "I'm totally in love and it's fabulous."

    Doesn't she know that is the kiss of death? Celebrities aren't supposed to talk about how in love they are. Bad. Bad. Bad.

    IDOLPREMIERE_JEWEL.jpg
    The freak show is back in town!

    IDOLPREMIERE_FREAK2.jpgThe first few weeks of American Idol may just be the best part of the season. In fact, some people just watch the auditions part of the series. The freaks are on parade... All these talentless people come out in front of the judges -- which, this week, included the folk singer Jewel as well -- and sing all the songs they've been practicing so hard in the shower for their entire lives.

    Now and then there's a gem in there... There were a few last night during the Minneapolis auditions, like the Army reserve chick who showed up in her fatigues. She had a pretty good voice... though I must say I was wondering if she wore her uniform just to work the military angle. I know -- I'm so cynical. But do the nurses come in their little white outfits... How about the McDonalds employees auditioning. Do they come with golden arches emblazoned on their shirts?

    IDOLPREMIERE_FREAK.jpgSo Idol is back and I'm glad. If for nothing else, I get to see Paula act all crazy. (Sure you aren't drinking, hon?) Simon is such a crankpot that he's lovable. (He's one of my strange crushes.) And where would we be without Randy and the dawg pound and Ryan the prima donna? Woof woof.

    Anyway, last year the American Idol recaps posted right here by my friend Julia were so popular that she's been tapped to write them for TV Cocktail. She just posted her first one, so check it out. Enjoy!

    Since Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz broke up last month, Cam has reportedly been showing her jealous side.

    From Page Six:

    Cameron Diaz is not over Justin Timberlake just yet, and things got heated when she saw her ex chatting up Jessica Biel in L.A. after the Golden Globes. Sources say the temperamental star "blew up" at Biel after she saw Timberlake flirting with her. Diaz followed Timberlake to the In Style party at the Hilton Oasis, where "they had an awkward conversation." The Charlie's Angels star then trailed Timberlake to the Beverly Hilton rooftop for the Universal party, where she found him chatting up Biel - and screamed at the Illusionist star. "If that's how she wants to get him back, it won't work," said our insider. "She's desperate." Reps for Diaz did not return our call.

    Maybe screaming at everyone who talks to him isn't the way to go, but I do feel bad for the girl. They just broke up!

    New England Patriots QB Tom Brady wasn't single for long!

    Last month we learned that Tom and actress Bridget Moynahan had gone their separate ways after three years together. Well, now he’s hooking up with another famous face – supermodel Gisele Bundchen.

    According to Page Six, Gisele – dressed in jeans and a t-shirt – was seen standing outside the Patriots locker room last Sunday "just kind of leaning against the wall."

    It seems like the stunner may have had set her sights on Tom long before he was even available. Last year, while Tom was still with Bridget, Gisele told the Boston Herald: "Tom Brady, definitely not too shabby. He's pretty cute. All-American, that's a good way to describe him."

    I’m sure she has even more ways to describe him now.

    The Grey’s Anatomy folks are at it again!

    In the press room at the Golden Globes, Isaiah Washington jumped in front of his executive producer boss – who was talking about their best show win – and announced to the press that he never called T.R. Knight a “faggot.” Isaiah’s outburst caused T.R. who was standing there, to look off to the side visibly uncomfortable, and Katherine Heigl to tell Access Hollywood immediately after that Isaiah "needs to just not speak in public.”

    After his press room outburst, Isaiah sat with Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush and Nancy O’Dell and again denied using the slur.

    "No, I did not call T.R. a faggot," he told Access Hollywood. "Never happened, never happened."

    In an interview that is set to air today on Ellen, T.R. says that hearing Isaiah calling him a that word on the set of Grey’s is what caused him to come out of the closet – and hearing Isaiah deny that he said it on Monday has left him speechless.

    "It's an awesome word, isn't it?" T.R. reportedly tells Ellen sarcastically. "I've never been called that to my face. So I think when that happened, something shifted, and it became bigger than myself... I was under no delusions. My friends on the set knew. We talked about it. Publicly it's not my thing to call up People magazine and be like, 'Hey, you want to know something about me?' ... I could've just let it slide and not said anything, but it became important. It became important to make the statement."

    Do you believe Isaiah when he says he didn’t use the “f” word? I really don’t...

    Like oh my God! Renée Zellweger is dating Luke Perry. Check out this item in Page Six:
    New couple alert: Renée Zellweger is cruising on a 90210 cast member. The Miss Potter star went out with Luke Perry Thursday night. Seated at an intimate table at the Sunset Tower hotel's Tower Bar restaurant, they were "definitely on a date," said our L.A. spy. "They both looked super-skinny. He was looking very grungy - baggy jeans, lumberjack flannel shirt and baseball cap. She had on a white button-down shirt, glasses and striped pants. They were talking very closely and rubbing knees."

    No word on whether or not they followed up the date with an ice cream soda at the Peach Pit, but we’re so sure they made out in his convertible on the way home.

    The Blabber comments were automatically shut down because someone was doing some serious spamming. Am working to get them back on. Stay tuned.

    Look -- video footage of Britney being a mommy!

    More interesting to me, the gal Brit's talking to in the video -- black sweater, jeans, sunglasses -- is a high school classmate of mine. Go, bulldogs! Last week, she was playing with her son at her local park in LA, minding her biz, when Britney and Sean Preston arrived to play. The moms chatted while pushing their boys on the swings.

    Small world.

    For those who care about my sleep status, I still have not slept. Now I'm just a zombie. I can't really talk -- weird noise come out) but luckily I can type and cut and paste!

    So that means I have something for you. And that something-something is the link to my Golden Globes gossip video that I shot this morning. On my dish list? Of course there's my take on grumpy Brangelina (big trouble I tell ya!) and a bunch of other things like Eddie Murphy, my nemesis Sienna Miller, Jeremy Piven's "thing" with his mom and some other stuff I can't remember because my brain isn't functioning.

    If for no other reason, watch it to make fun of me for looking so damn tired. Go ahead... I can take it.

    I love staying up all night.
    I love staying up all night.
    I love staying up all night.

    I figure if I say it enough times, it will be true... and I won't be so tired that I could drop to my hardwood floor at any moment and scream: Calgon, take me away!

    I'm exaggerating. I am tired, but I love award show season and, for me, staying up all night is like taking one for the team. Now we have all these great Golden Globe Award photo galleries for you to look at.

    Vanessa_136.jpgStart here with the Best & Worst of the 2007 Golden Globes feature, which highlights all the big moments that people will be buzzing about today. We have the faux pas (like Vanessa Williams' hair), funny show moments (Justin Timberlake's acceptance speech for Prince), makeovers (Reese Witherspoon) and party pics (like single gals Cameron and Drew).

    Brangelina_1536.jpgAnd then there's the slide show called the Golden Couples of 2007 Golden Globe Awards. There are photos of 14 hot Hollywood couples doing what they do best. Posing! Of course Brangelina are included... but I'm still tripping out over how Angelina was acting on the red carpet last night. So cold. I really think that there's trouble in paradise.

    Reese_325a.jpg
    I'm not a huge Reese Witherspoon fan but, boy, did she look fantastic last night. She had a great new haircut and she was wearing a really flattering dress. To me, she looked years younger than usual... and she's not old by any means.

    So take that, Ryan Phillippe! Reesey hasn't looked this good in years.

    People.com is reporting that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie came face-to-face with Courteney Cox and David Arquette on the red carpet at the Golden Globes. So did Courteney take out the rival of her BFF? Hardly. It actually sounds like the made nice.

    Spotted on the patio at the Beverly Hilton at about 6:35 PT: Jennifer Aniston's best friend Courteney Cox and husband David Arquette making their way toward her ex Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Cox and Pitt hug each other warmly, and Pitt turns to Jolie saying, "Meet some great friends of mine." After a brief hello, Jolie and Arquette start to turn away, but Pitt reaches out to his old buddy – and gives him a hug around the neck and a kiss on the cheek. A moment later, they go their separate ways again.

    Hey... maybe that's why Angelina appeared so utterly pissed while walking the red carpet.

    Heidi Klum and Seal are one of my favorite celebrity couples. I am also pretty excited that Heidi isn't stick thin so soon after she had her third baby. Not that she doesn't look utterly fabulous... but she looks a little real too.

    Typically, Naomi Watts does nothing for me. Nada. She's a bore... and so is her love life. But in a sea of black and white at tonight's Globes, she really stood out in this stunning dress. Kudos to her for being a little interesting... for once.

    I feel like Jessica Biel is the "It" girl right now. She's never been in better shape and, come on, she's dating Derek Jeter. Didn't love the dress though. The back -- over her booty -- was a different, darker color and it drew attention to her booty. Maybe that was the point.

    Despite rumors of problems following their Buddhist non-wedding ceremony on New Year’s Day, Kate Moss and Pete Doherty spent the second half of the weekend together at her country home outside London (pictured). The first half? After trying to make a paparazzo eat a guitar, Petey spent the night in jail (again!) after getting pulled over in a car that was reported stolen.

    Again, I must say that if I ever get arrested, I hope that it takes place in England. The kid has been arrested more times in the last year than Lindsay Lohan has been hospitalized and Britney has flashed her crotch -- combined! And that’s saying a lot.

    Meanwhile, Kate and Pete’s real wedding is set to take place sometime this month... provided he’s not incarcerated or in rehab.

    Ah, the glamourous life of rock ‘n’ rollers.

    Celebs are usually so weird about showing off their babies. Not Will Ferrell. He took his new baby boy, Mattias, to watch his eldest son Magnus play soccer over the weekend.

    Thanks for sharing, Will!

    I've heard the expression "nobody's perfect" many times. I get it. But isn't it fun seeing beautiful, gorgeous, talented celebrities looking... average? I love it. I like to know that they have zits and bags and wrinkles because I have zits, bags and this one new wrinkle that has been annoying the crap out of me.

    In the latest Daily Blabber video blog, I dug up some photos of celebrities -- like Jennifer Aniston, Heidi Klum, Penelope Cruz, Pam Anderson, Beyonce and Katie Holmes -- minus their makeup... and, boy, is it a fun watch. I found myself pausing the video so I could get a longer at look at all the bad photos.

    All in a day's work!

    I know I should feel bad when I see someone who’s clearly suffering from a substance abuse problem, but I just can’t when it’s Paula Abdul because she continuously denies that she’s on something. When you watch these two clips, it’s apparent that ole girl is nipping at the sherry or playing Miss Pacman with the pills. Between the swaying, bobbing and slurring, she’s just not sober! There’s no way in hell.

    And because I love lame the excuses publicist make for their clients (aka the bad lies they tell), I cracked the heck up when her publicist issued a statement saying it was “much ado about nothing” and flatly denied that she was drinking or under the influence of drugs. He blamed the fact that she did 20 interviews that day and said: "This is the only one that went bad due to technical difficulties. The sound dropped not once but twice. She was totally distracted by the whole thing."

    Too bad there are two different interviews (so far!) and she’s acting the same way both. Even the anchor was like WTF? One actually asked her if she always sways and squirms around like that. How embarrassing!

    The bigger question here is... Is Paula going to be back on American Idol this season. The show starts on Tuesday with the footage from the auditions and there will be a few weeks until she actually has to sit as a judge in live shows and try to be coherent. Maybe she’ll be shipped to Promises Malibu for a few weeks to get sober?

    Definitely watch these videos. Again, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. It’s Courtney Love style – times two.

  • E_ClaireDanes_136.jpgWeeks after reportedly splitting with longtime boyfriend Bill Crudup, Claire Danes has found herself a new man, and she seems smitten. How do I know? Well, my friend -- and amazing coworker -- Kate sent me this celeb sighting this morning:

    "Last night I had dinner a table over from Claire Danes and some dude at Mezzogiorno on Spring Street in SoHo. I think she was a little tipsy."

    A few hours later, I found a picture of Claire and "some dude" (who happens to be Hugh Dancy, Claire's costar in Evening) strolling the streets of SoHo this afternoon. I sent it to Kate, and she confirmed Claire was with Hugh last night.

    "Well, i don't know if she was (tipsy), but she was laughing a LOT, and when they were getting up to leave, he was helping her put on this turtleneck, and it got stuck on her head; so he was helping her pull it down," Kate told me later.

    Claire's ex, Billy, supposedly broke up with the My-So-Called Life star when he found out she had been cheating on him with Hugh.

    File this under EWW. Despite saying he had nothing to do with the leak of his "sex tape," Screech (Dustin Diamond) told Details magazine that he was in on it from beginning. After allegedly hearing that someone else was going to leak the tape, Dustin decided to cash in on his (possible) manhood's 15 seconds of fame by producing the video with Red Light District productions.

    Here's my question: Who is the world would pay money to see this? I wouldn't watch it if you paid me money!

    Dustin still isn't admitting or denying the whole stunt penis thing. Right, so I think I need to go be sick now.

    E_BritneyKevinBit_136.jpgClearly, Britney Spears has proved she could absolutely, without a doubt, totally and for sure handle two kids under the age of two. In fact, she's shown she's so responsible that she just had to tack on more by buying a dog. Yep, Brit purchased the -- get this -- tea-cup apple head chihuahua for $3,200. Us Weekly claims Britney was calling the dog "Snow White," but considering how Britney likes to change names (Sutton Pierce, anyone?) it's not for sure.

    Somewhere, Britney's nanny(ies) must be crying that they'll have to take care of another spontaneous addition to her clan.

    I just hope this pup has better luck than Brit's last three chihuahuas (like Bit-Bit, pictured), who we never saw or heard yap again after Sean P. was born.

    Maybe La Lohan et. al. should take a cue from Jennifer Lopez. At a press conference for TV critics, the dancing diva said she and creepy husband Marc Anthony don't go out partying much anymore.

    "No we don't. Were homebodies. We love music -- obviously it's a big part of our lives -- but we're not big club people. Not any more. I've had my days," she says.

    PS: Dave's interview with Madge was great and I'm over her "stealing" baby David. I also give her kudos for sticking up for Rosie O'Donnell -- which she talked about with Dave as well. She seems like a loyal friend... unless it comes to Britney.

    Grey's Anatomy is back on the air. Can I hear a hell yeah? I'm giving a big old one because I really missed it. It's been weeks! Anyway, here's my recap if you feel like checking it out. Hottest moment by far was between Addison and Alex. Whoa! Love them. And I'm over McSteamy. He's such a blob -- you know, the term Angelina calls Shiloh. He just does nothing for me or for the show. But what do you think? Read up, then talk back over at the Cocktail.

    Patient Stats: Georgie's dad finally has surgery… Preston had surgery on his hand -- again! -- and is in recovery… Meredith's half-sister's baby is incubating, then needs emergency surgery… A girl with a major spinal curvature and attitude may get a McSteamy special to fix her back.

    Operation Day: George's dad is finally having the operation after what feels like six months of build up. Chief and Bailey warn him that things could be bad but they won't know until they open him up. George's dad insists that the tumor be removed either way... but doesn't tell George. He's fighting the cancer -- not taking a "six weeks left to live" death sentence. In some cute scenes, George consults Preston about his father's case. Before the operation, George hangs with his dad and they chat about old times. The dad also tells George not to let "that Callie" get away… During the operation, Bailey and Chief learn that the cancer has spread everywhere. But instead of sewing him back up and giving six weeks to live, they remove the tumor per the patient's orders. Back in his room after the operation, George worries a ton about his father. But he gets some indications that he may pull through. George gives Callie a big kiss to celebrate.

    Say Uncle! Christina and Preston still aren't talking. So she spends the whole episode trying to find out if he's having tremors after his operation. She keeps asking Meredith to find, but Mer declines. She also asks a nurse and George to find out. Mission not accomplished. Addison visits Preston and the topic turns to Christina. He reveals that they aren't speaking -- they're playing a game of "Uncle," waiting for the other one to give up. Addison tells him that he's pathetic.

    Now that Justin Timberlake is actively trying to give Scarlett Johansson his very special gift, he's officially confirming that he and Cameron Diaz have broken up.

    According to TMZ.com, the couple issued this joint statement:

    "It has always been our preference not to comment on the status of our relationship, but, out of respect for the time we've spent together, we feel compelled to do so now, in light of recent speculation and the number of inaccurate stories that are being reported by the media. We have, in fact, ended our romantic relationship and have done so mutually and as friends, with continued love and respect for one another."

    And because every split in Hollywood has to be the biggest, most dramatic thing ever -- Justin and Cameron both lent their voices to Shrek the Third, so they're definitely going to have to talk about one other -- and possibly see one another -- while doing press for that.

    Can't wait for those very rehearsed quotes about how the other is "amazing" and "talented" and how they're still "very good friends."

    E_MadonnaBob_136.jpgThe Donald may not love Rosie, but the Madonna does.

    Earlier today during an interview with Today Show cohost Meredith Vieira, Madonna came to the aid of her longtime friend, Rosie O'Donnell, regarding the Rosie-Donald Trump-Barbara Walters feud

    "People are giving Rosie a hard time," said Madonna, who starred with Rosie in A League of Their Own. "I wish they'd stop. I don't think it's fair... She's a stand-up comic. I think all stand-up comics talk about provocative things in their monologues before shows, and I think that's a commonplace thing. I don't know exactly the content of what she said, but I have a feeling that if every stand-up comic was penalized for saying politically incorrect things or provocative things, I think they'd all be hung in the public square."

    E_RosieODonnell_68.jpgI think Madonna is secretly excited that people are talking about Rosie and laying off her about the scandal around the theft adoption of her new son, David.

    Wait a minute... You mean to tell me that my boyfriend, Patrick Dempsey, is cheating on me and having a baby with some lady? What's that you say? He's married? Oh. Well then...

    Here's Patrick's new interview with Life in which he talks about quitting showbiz and moving to Maine. If that happens, I may go Britney and have a total meltdown... but I promise to wear panties.

    PeteWentz_monkey.jpg
    Not long after both Ashlee Simpson and Michelle Trachtenberg made out with Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, there are rumors that Lindsay Lohan just sucked face with the monkey lover. What is it about him that has the starlets lining up?

    Seriously, I'm wondering... I just don't see it -- especially with the flat-ironed hair.

    DavidArquetteHeadshot.jpg
    My beloved David Arquette is doing a lot of press to promote wife Courteney Cox’s new show, Dirt, which he exec produces, as well as some ABC show that he was in that aired last night. One of his publicity stops was with Howard Stern. Here’s a transcript of the chit-chat – the topics ranged from Courteney’s pal Jennifer Aniston and her divorce from Brad Pitt to talk about his abusive mother.

    On Jen and Brangelina:
    Howard: How hard it must have been for you, your wife is best friends with Jennifer Aniston, so you're in the middle of that whole thing.
    David: Jennifer's great. When the marriage ended, it was sad.
    Howard: Do you have to act like Brad's an ass all the time?
    David: No, I love Brad, he's a great guy. He did some stuff that hurt our friend, but you know...
    Howard: Do you ever see Jen cry?
    David: No, no, never, not one tear shed.
    Howard: There was speculation that the whole Vince Vaughn thing wasn't true, that they never actually dated.
    David: No, no, they dated, they really cared about each other.
    Howard: How did you hear that Brad split? Did Courtney tell you?
    David: Um, we knew, we all knew about it.
    Howard: When did you find out he was sleeping with Angelina, did you know that?
    David: That part was pretty much a surprise.
    Howard: Did you give Jen advice, talk to her about her marriage?
    David: In general, I think that if something's not working out between people, you just move on.
    Howard: Well they were working until Angelina came along..

    MatthewFoxDarkSide.jpg
    So cutie Matthew Fox – star of We Are Marshall and ABC’s Lost – isn't just the clean cut, doting dad we once thought. Foxy gives this wild interview to Men’s Journal about his so-called dark side.

    Some highlights from the “unapologetically vicious” actor’s interview...

  • On being manipulative: "I'm a liar and a cheat and a thief and the ultimate manipulator," says the married father of two. "I tell lies every day, man. And when I say I'm phenomenally manipulative, I am."
  • On the drink: "I really enjoy social boozing, and what I enjoy about it is when people I know and care about say and do things they normally wouldn't say or do. To make that happen I'll instigate anything."
  • On those “adult swim” stories: "As for the skinny-dipping, when I was a kid there wasn't a huge delineation in our family between having clothes on or not having clothes on. And the reason I have so much fun doing it now is people are so shocked by it, and, like, `Oh, my God, Fox just took his clothes off!' But, I mean, just how long ago was it that we were all wandering around in loincloths?"

    Sounds to me like Charlie Salinger is trying to land some roles outside of the “good guy” box.

  • DrewFabover.jpg
    It's an un-Fab-ulous time in the life of Drew Barrymore. Us Weekly reports that she has called it quits with her longtime boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti from The Strokes. He moved back into his apartment... and out of hers. But if you want to hear about how great their relationship was, pick up Harper's Bazaar. She talks gushes all about him in the cover story. Sux.

    E_AngelinaJolie4_136.jpgNow that Page Six is mentioning Angelina Jolie in the Marilyn Manson breakup debacle, I'm wondering if the blind item they ran earlier this week is referring to them.

    Blind Item: Which Tinseltown sex siren with a humanitarian streak has resumed her old habit of dabbling with heroin? She paid a recent visit to an old rock star friend and joined him in narcotic stupor.

    Then today, Page Six said this about the "old friends":

    Another Manson-watcher tells Page Six he's also close pals with Brad Pitt's paramour, Angelina Jolie - who caught up with the rock star when she was in L.A. a little over five months ago. "They've known each other for a long time," said our source, "since she was way more wild than she is now - they are still good friends, though."

    Sounds like it, no?

    Because Simon Cowell recently dissed Bob Dylan -- the American Idol judge said he'd rather listen to Kelly Clarkson than the singing poet, whom he finds to be a "bore" -- I've been listening to Dylan all day in his defense. Specifically, I keep listening to "Like a Rolling Stone" because I also just read somewhere that it's about Edie Sedgwick, who is the subject of the new biopic Factory Girl starring Sienna Miller. I hear the lyrics in a whole different way now that I knew who's behind the song. It's weird.

    getpreview.jpg

    Speaking of See-See... The fact that she's getting all this Oscar buzz makes me want to poke my eyes out with one of Pete Doherty's syringes. (What? He's not using them at the moment. They're lonely.) And all her interviews are excruciating... I don't know why I even bother skimming them. All she does is talk about the how people are obsessed with her love life. Ummm... her love life is what made her famous -- not her acting. So Jude Law's ex should be grateful we even know who she is... otherwise she wouldn't be pimping Factory Girl right now. She'd be a sales girl at Harrods buying her bizarre fashions with her employee discount.

    Anyway, back to Dylan. The lyrics to "Like a Rolling Stone" after the jump.

    It's not exactly a peace movement, but Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross is having a bed in -- per her doctor's orders.

    People.com reports that Marcia -- who is expecting twins with her hubby, Tom Mahoney, in April -- has been put on bed rest as a "precautionary measure only." And in an unusual move, the producers of Housewives are moving production to Marcia's home for two days at the end of the month.

    While I've never heard of moving a production to an actor's home, the bed rest thing is pretty common -- especially for women carrying twins. And it's the case for celebs too. In the fall the 2005, Julia Roberts was put on bed rest before delivering her twins, Finn and Hazel. Then she actually gave birth a couple months before her due date anyway.

    So now it's lots of TV and magazine reading for Marcia. Hey, maybe she'll check out Daily Blabber too.

    Brooke Burke and David Charvet are singing "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" today. They welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Heaven Rain Charvet. The baby was born on Monday in Santa Monica. She weighed 6 lbs. 8 oz. and was 18 3/4 inches long.

    "Brooke had a very smooth delivery, with her fiancé David by her side," her rep told People.com. "They are thrilled to be back at home now with their gorgeous baby girl. It's a very exciting time for them."

    Heaven has two big sisters, Neriah and Sierra Sky, who are from Brooke's first marriage.

    Evan-Rachel-Manson_389.jpg
    I get creeped out just looking at photos of Marilyn Manson. I couldn’t imagine having to sit next to him or, worse, kiss him. Between the China doll makeup and the unsettling color contacts, I just... Ugh! To each his own, I guess.

    I’m bringing this up because this morning there are crazy Manson rumors. You know he just filed for divorce from his burlesque dancer wife, Dita Von Teese. Well, the juice today is about the other women in his life – namely Evan Rachel Wood (pictured), Lindsay Lohan and Angelina Jolie.

    The juiciest story by far is that Manson, 38, is hooking up with 19-year-old Evan – a story being reported on by People, so you know it’s true. Apparently she has become his muse and he’s painting pictures of her and artsy fartsy stuff like that.

    Lindsay is being dragged into this mess as well. Though nobody is reporting that anything romantic is going on between them, apparently Lindsay put a strain on his marriage by calling his house at all hours trying to get her party on with him... and stuff like that.

    Angelina’s name is thrown into the mix as well. Again, nothing romantic with her, but Page Six talks about Manson’s friendship with Angie – who knew? – from back in her wilder days when she wore blood around her neck and played with knives in bed.

    Do you think that a 38-year-old should date a 19-year-old? Talk back.

    MandyMooreHeadshot.jpgNot too long ago, I read an article about how DJ AM -- Nicole Richie's ex -- was looking for a famous girlfriend. It said "famous" right in the article... something like he wants another famous girlfriend to help boost his career. I laughed joking at the absurdity of such a comment... Besides, he's not really a hunkity hunk, ya know? He's kinda dorky. So I was shocked to read a story on People.com that says he's dating Mandy Moore!

    "It's really new. They're in the beginning stages of getting to know each other," a source told People.com. "They're very into each other. It's very sweet."

    Doubly shocking is that Mandy spent New Year's Eve groping Wilmer Valderamma, so there were rumors that they had gotten back together.

    So there you have it -- Mandy Moore and DJ AM. I guess the music man got his wish.

    Okay, so I stayed up crazy late doing the People's Choice Awards slide show. Did you guys see it? It was pretty good... a lot of people were there. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, Cameron Diaz -- minus Justin, Halle "Is She Preggers" Berry, Patrick Dempsey and a bunch of other pretty big people. I've got a whole photo recap... so check it out if you so desire. As for me, I'm in autopilot today on four hours sleep. So don't give me too much crap for my typos.

    Jeez... this Donald Trump, Rosie O'Donnell and Barbara Walters feud is outta control fabulous. In reaction to Rosie and Barbara's makeup room feud -- that was reported this morning -- Donald sent a letter to Rosie at The View.

    Dear Rosie,

    I hope you had a wonderful vacation with your wife -- you needed the rest.

    An article in today's New York Post, indicates that you blew up at Barbara Walters for being a 'liar.' Actually, I don't blame you, but in fact she lied to both of us! After your maniacal and foolish rant against me two weeks ago, Barbara called me from her vacation (I did not call her) in order to apologize for your behavior. She had heard that I was going to retaliate against you and tried to talk me out of it. She very much wanted me to go on the show as soon as she got back so that she could 'patch things up' (I said no). To be exact, she said that 'working with her is like living in hell' and, more pointedly, 'Donald never get into the mud with pigs' and, 'don't worry, she won't be here for long.' Barbara knows exactly what she told me over the phone and she has to live with it. Perhaps that's why her initial statement was so mild!

    In another incident, when I saw her eating at Le Cirque about two months ago and asked how 'Rosie was doing,' 'she sarcastically rolled her eyes and said 'Donald, do you have to ruin my meal.'

    In any event, you have a good reason to be angry. Please give my warmest regards to Kelly [sic]!

    Sincerely, Donald J. Trump

    P.S. I was surprised that you let your spat with Barbara get into the newspapers, but, as I have always said and as you proved with Rosie, the magazine, you are very self destructive. You must work on this for your own good!

    Okay... how much longer do you think Rosie is going to be on the show? It's getting crazy.

    Former BFFs Britney Spears and Paris Hilton may no longer be sharing beauty secrets, booze and a bed, but they're sharing something else -- the top spot on Mr. Blackwell's annual worst dressed list.

    Other ladies who were called out? Christina Aguilera ("all crass, no class"), Mariah Carey ("the Queen of Catastrophic Kitsch") and Lindsay Lohan ("from adorable to deplorable").

    Believe it or not, Mr. Blackwell actually likes how some stars dress. Among his "Fabulous Fashion Independents for 2006" are Kate Winslet and Angelina Jolie.

  • Next time you catch a Nets game, be sure to take a good look at the Nets Dancers, who will now be wardrobed by... Beyonce. Perhaps B’s boyfriend Jay-Z, who is part owner of the Nets, had a little something to do with House of Dereon nabbing that gig.
  • Liev Schreiber, the bearded boyfriend of Naomi Watts tells Elle that he once had sex on the Staten Island Ferry. Pretty hot if that was coming from Brad or George. Not so much coming from this guy.
  • You’d think that a supermodel like Kate Moss would have the ultimate body. Think again. It’s not revolting by any means, but it ain’t A+ either. I just sorta expected more from a “supermodel” ... though she does make some interesting decisions.

  • Things are getting nasty between soon-to-be exes Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese. They are reportedly fighting over... custody of their cats. Catfight over the cats... nice.
  • Okay, so I can't resist this photo of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie taken at last night's premiere of God Grew Tired of Us because you know I'm mildly Brangelina obsessed. But don't you think these two look plastic lately -- especially Brad? I can't tell if he's had surgery... or if three children and a sexed-up girlfriend are taking their toll on him.

    Meanwhile, I'm not the only one obsessed with Brad's plasticness. You must check out Lindsey's new celebrity polls in iVote Hollywood. Topics include on Ken doll Brad, Matty Damon's specs, Ryan Gosling's porn 'stache, the Scarlett and Cameron debate and many more.

    Josh Hartnett needs a lot of help keeping his mind off of his ex Scarlett Johansson. Check out this dishy item in the New York Daily News:
    Spies at downtown dive Mama's Bar report that the Pearl Harbor star cut the bathroom line to join two ladies in a stall Saturday night. When a guy yanked the door open, Dlisted.com reports, Hartnett could be seen, um, receiving special attention from one of the girls. The actor's rep called the account "ludicrous," though we know Hartnett was there.
    At dinner with my friend Tammy the other night, the topic turned to Julia Roberts being pregnant. Tam asked if Julia -- who reportedly undergoes IVF to get pregnant, though won't publicly discuss it -- is having twins again. It's funny -- I had been wondering the exact same thing. And now it looks like the answer could be yes.

    The New York Daily News reports that Julia was seen at the baby store Petit Tresor, where she purchased two of everything. On her receipt? Two Bonne Nuit cribs and changing tables, two gliders, two Moses baskets, and “more than enough Kaloo toys to push the bill over $10,000."

    Imagine having four children under 3? Y-I-K-E-S!

    Julia will reportedly give birth this summer, but keep up with the Celebrity Baby Tracker for all the star baby news.

    Despite what Donald Trump may think, all press isn't necessarily good press. His three-week, anti-Rosie O'Donnell publicity tour did little to boost his ratings for The Apprentice: LA.

    According to the New York Daily News, the ratings for the premiere of Apprentice were below what the premiere did last spring. In fact, there were 11.6 million viewers watching the lead-in show, Grease: You're the One That I Want (check out our recap written by Billy Bush), but only 8.6 stuck around for Apprentice. That said, I watched The Apprentice and I really liked it. I feel like the show has totally been refreshed -- from the location to the fact that the losing team has to live in a tent! I like Ivanka too -- though she definitely comes off stuffy.

    Maybe if Donald hadn't been quite so nasty by calling Rosie a "slob," "fat" and a "degenerate," more people would have tuned in to watch his show. But that's just me.

    E_BarbaraRosieO_136.jpgOn the air yesterday, the ladies of The View seemed to put on a united front while making fun of la Donald... but behind the scenes things weren’t so peachy. According to Page Six, Rosie O’Donnell and Barbara Walters had it out in the makeup room yesterday morning – the first day Ro returned from her vacation.

    At 8:30am, Babs and Rosie came fact-to-face in the makeup room, but when Babs tried to hug her employee, Rosie flipped and yelled, “You kept me in the newspapers this whole time! ... You didn’t call me for 10 goddamn days, and you didn’t tell me what you were going to say on television.”

    Rosie was referring to the statement Babs made on the air last week. In part she said: "I'm sorry there is friction between Donald and Rosie. That said, I do not regret for one moment my choice to hire Rosie O'Donnell as the moderator of The View. "

    Rosie blasted Babs because “cameras are now outside of my house were my wife and kids are. You went all around this and never called [Trump] a liar. You never said, 'Donald is lying.' You never called him a liar."
    When Babs told Rosie she did defend her, Ro snapped, "Are you looking me in the face and denying you didn't tell him you didn't say this? You're a [bleeping] liar."

    A rep for both Barbara and Rosie didn’t deny there was a spat and said, "Whatever happened in the hair and makeup room was hardly a squabble. It's business as usual, everyone has moved on."

    I guess what happened in the makeup room didn’t stay in the makeup room this time.

    Since Kate Hudson got dumped by Owen Wilson, she's reportedly been dumping on other people -- like her soon-to-be ex-husband Chris Robinson.

    According to the New York Daily News, Kate promised to buy the financially strapped Chris a house in Malibu. But before he rolled out his new welcome mat, she backed out of their deal.

    Kate (pictured above running in Queensland) and Chris are also reportedly fighting over their three-year-old son, Ryder. Kate told Chris that if he wanted to see the boy on his recent birthday, Chris had to fly to Australia, where she's filming Fool's Gold. But, according to the source, Chris was "kind of broke" so getting a plane ticket wasn't easy.

    One of Kate’s “confidants" bottom lines it, saying: "Since Owen kicked her to the curb, she has turned into a tyrant to everybody in sight.”

    Well let’s hope she finds a new boyfriend soon. Justin Timberlake?

    E_Tony_CrudupDanes_136.jpgAfter Billy Crudup ditched his 8-months-pregnant girlfriend Mary-Louise Parker for Claire Danes, both Billy and Claire ended up on my crap list. So I'm celebrating this item in the New York Daily News and hoping that it's true.

    Have reclusive couple Claire Danes and Billy Crudup split? That might explain why the "My So-Called Life" star was in tears at Spring Street Natural, as we reported two weeks ago. Apparently things between the two actors took a turn for the worse when Danes mentioned marriage. Getting out when things get serious seems to be a Crudup habit. Back in 2003, he ditched seven-months-pregnant girlfriend Mary-Louise Parker to pursue Danes.

    Ick. Gross. Vomit. Puke. Blech.

    Sorry -- that's a little something that comes out each time I read something about Dustin Diamond's sex tape.

    Today's news, courtesy of The New York Daily News, is that the Saved By the Bell star may have used a body double in his sex video.

    "I have reason to believe that is not Dustin's [manhood] in the movie," said David Hans Schmidt, who is the agent brokering the deal to sell the tape. "You never see his face and his [manhood] in the same shot. If, in fact, he used a body double, I'm going to sue him for defrauding me, Red Light and the American public."

    Maybe that guy was defrauded, but the American public? Let’s be honest – none of the American public is going to watch that thing anyway. And now we may finally stop talking about it too.

    Every six months there's a new rumor that Halle Berry is pregnant. Halle actually fans the flames by giving what I call "I really wanna be a mommy quotes" to reporters all the time. Anyway, the rumor is back. A few sources are reporting on it, including the UK edition of Vogue. Here's the little blurb they ran in their newsletter this morning:

    Halle Berry is pregnant, according to reports from the US. The 40-year-old actress - who has modeled for L'Oréal and Versace - is dating Canadian model Gabriel Aubry (31), and has been spotted wearing a variety of baggy tops recently, sparking rumours that she is expecting a baby. She previously told Oprah Winfrey that she would have a baby by the time she is 40 regardless of her romantic status at the time. "If there's no serious man in my life, whoever I'm dating at the time, I'll say, 'Hey, would you like to have a baby?'" The twice-married actress has also said that she is likely to adopt children in the future, even if she does have children naturally. (January 8 2007, AM)

    Say it ain't so. Perez Hilton reports that Britney Spears' "big comeback" may involve... another reality TV show.This craistlist.com ad -- posted after the jump -- solicits participants to appear in a new unscripted series for MTV that sounds horribly bad.

    Let's hope this is just a sick joke.

    Rumors have been swirling for several weeks now that Justin Timberlake has split from Cameron Diaz. I remained skeptical until I heard that JT took none other than his mother to the premiere of his movie, Alpha Dog. Neither camp is fessing up to the split, but JT has been getting all kinds of close to Scarlett Johansson (who split from Josh Hartnett in November) lately. She's starring in his new video and allegedly snuck into the Alpha Dog after-party to be with her man.

    If the rumors are for real, do you think she'll be a better match for Justin than Cameron? Weigh in with our newest iVote Hollywood poll.

    E_BritneySeanPreston2_136.jpgI know, I'm as sick of hearing about Britney as you are, but the stories about her just keep getting better. TMZ is now reporting that she and K-Fed have reached a custody agreement. Now, before you go getting all excited, the agreement is only for the month of January. What they have been doing up to this point, I have no idea. In the new agreement, however, the train wrecks parents will have joint legal custody of Sean P. and Jayden J. What it means really, however, is that the kids will live with the nanny Britney, and K-Fed gets to come visit.

    How's this for some specifics, though? K-Fed can only see the kids between 11am and 4pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at Britney's house. The momtart can be there, but she's not allowed to interfere.

    So, if Kevin starts toking up in the living room, does this mean she's not allowed to say anything?

    Moral of the story? If you're going to party your panties off every night of the week for a month and a half straight and then spend your days apologizing to your fans, just hire a really awesome divorce attorney.

    Should Britney have received that much custody of her kids in light of her recent lifestyle? Is it actually possible that K-Fed might have been good in some small way for the pop star?

    Britney clearly missed the grade school lesson that actions speak louder than words. Check out what she's posted on her official website now (I bolded the good parts for 'ya!):

    Party_Britney.jpg

    Dear Fans,

    It has been a while since I've addressed you personally here on my official website. The last couple of years have been quite a ride for me, the media has criticized my every move and printed a skewed perception of who I really am as a human being. Behind every decision I have made in my public life there always seems to be an apparent contradiction. I have come to terms with that which is why I usually don't pay much attention to it.

    E_BritneySpears3_136.jpgBritney is good for the soul. She makes us laugh. Here's why this time:

    First came this series of hilarious quotes from Britney's manager, Larry Rudolph:

  • "She understands what's going on right now, and she calls it her 'rocky moment.' Britney knows exactly what she needs to do."

  • "We were sitting there (on New Year's Eve) drinking orange juice. She got tired in a club, and we took her back to her room. Suddenly, I'm hearing words like 'collapsed' and 'passed out.' "

  • "She's taking all the right steps. Britney Spears will be back and absolutely at the top of the entertainment industry very soon."

    Then, after a dinner out in Hollywood, the "disheveled" mom tart was over heard saying, "I love myself, I love myself."

    That's good, Brit. We're glad someone does. Keep up the positive attitude.

    --Lindsey

  • Congrats to Bradley Cooper, who starred in Wedding Crashers, and Jennifer Esposito, of Crash and that short-lived WB show, Related. The cute couple exchanged vows in late December. There's no word on whether Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson crashed the bash.

    E_SAG_Jennifer_325.jpg
    I'm a little torn as to whether this marriage is going to work out. On the one hand, they've kept their relationship super low-key, which generally a good sign for long-lasting Hollywood romances. But seriously, when you're known as that couple whose big roles have been in titles involving the word "crash," only one phrase comes to mind -- crash and burn. Still, best of luck!

    --Linds

    E_MarilynManson_136.jpgAnd I really thought this marriage was going last (hahaha)... Page Six is reporting that shock rocker Marilyn Manson is being served today with divorce papers by his wife of one year, stripper-aficionado Dita Von Teese. A friend of Dita's tells the mag:

    "He's not been responsive. (Dita) loved him so much, but he has too many demons. He can't even communicate with her at this point. She tried to tell him she was divorcing him, but she can't even get him on the phone. She moved out of the house and he hasn't even noticed."

    He can't communicate with her now?!? Could he ever? C'mon, if you're going to marry the Manson (whom you've been seeing for seven freaking years!), you gotta know upfront what you're getting yourself into -- demons and all. Maybe the former Playboy model just decided to give up her own dark side and wear pink when she signed on as the spokesmodel for MAC makeup's Viva Glam lipstick line.

    E_LindsayLohan4_136.jpgLindsay "I'm in AA" Lohan has once again landed herself in the hospital. I swear, the stars go to the ER as much as they go out clubbing. Is it the doctors? Something in the water? The comfy, remote-controlled beds? What am I missing?

    This time, according to TMZ.com, Linds was admitted after being diagnosed with appendicitis. She reportedly had her appendix removed and is "resting comfortably." Hmmm, I can't help but wonder if this is kinda like those other million times that she went to the hospital to treat "exhaustion" or some other dubious illness.

    I'm going to need to see the scar on her stomach before I believe she didn't OD or something. Good thing spring break is just around the corner -- you know she's not giving up those bikinis anytime soon.

    --Lindsey (Not Lohan)

    As I've said, I'm an award show season dork. I love them all -- even the People's Choice Awards. I like the SAG Awards a lot too because, like the Golden Globes, it includes both television and movie stars. And all the actors always go because, for them, award show season is like the holiday season -- spirits, statuette gifts and all that good stuff. Anyway, the nominations for the SAG Awards are listed after the jump. The show airs live on TBS and TNT on Sunday, Jan. 28 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

    And don't miss: Photos from the 2006 SAG awards. The pic of Reese Witherspoon and Joquin Phoenix is from last year's show.

  • I love seeing anything anti-Paris Hilton, so I loved this photo of her getting hit in the face with a piece of ice. The cold-hearted bitch deserves it. Wowsers... I’m feeling a little nasty today.
  • My Girl Friday, Lindsey, is very broken up over the fact that The O.C. has been canceled. On the other hand, TV Cocktail’s Sarah Mac clearly couldn’t care less.
  • I think Mario Lopez will be the perfect host for the Miss America Pageant. You need someone supercheesy for that gig and he is the cheese king.
  • Now your children can play with Eva Longoria’s plastic breasts.
  • Step aside Madonna and Angelina! Leonardo DiCaprio has "adopted" a little one in South Africa... and he doesn't even have to change diapers.

    While in Africa making Blood Diamond, Leo met a girl from an orphanage that he connected with. According to Cindy Adams, they played, talked and he "became fascinated by her." So he decided to "adopt" her. But instead of taking her home, tying a Kabbalah string around her wrist and declaring her his own, Leo's "parenting" will continue from afar. He'll reportedly send her a check every month and they'll catch up via phone.

    Meanwhile, Judey rang in the New Year with his ex-wife, Sadie Frost, and their kids. Maybe he's hoping to reconcile and stop making those alimony payments.

    So I mentioned the New Year's Eve par-tay that Kate Hudson threw at her Pacific Palisades home. Well, among the "dozens of friends" Us Weekly says Kate invited were celebs like Justin Timberlake, Ryan Phillippe and Eva Mendes. They partied until 5am, had a great time and blah, blah, blah.

    But pretty interesting that Justin was there without Cameron Diaz, no? Especially because she tells the new Harper's Bazaar that one of her beauty secrets is to "make love every moment I can."

    At Kate’s fete, Justin played bartender for the evening and ended up getting tossed in the pool. And where was Ms. Sexalot? One report says she spend New Year's in Colorado. But why?

    Keep an eye on these two.

    The fling between Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson has flung.

    According to Us Weekly, the "torrid affair" that caused Kate to end her marriage to Chris Robinson is over. Apparently she became miffed when he Owen canceled a trip to see her on the set of Fool's Gold, which is the movie she's filming with Matthew McConaughey. Meanwhile, Chris traveled to the Australia set to see their son, Ryder, and stayed 17 days.)

    "It hurt that Owen didn't come see her," a source told the mag. "That's when she broke it off emotionally."

    Kate made some type of a last-ditch effort to get Owen to spend New Year's Eve with her in Aspen, where she always spends New Year's with her family. But he was in India shooting a movie with his buddy Wes Anderson and said no.

    So what did Kate do? She threw a big old bash at her Pacific Palisades pad instead. Meanwhile, Owen is said to be calling all of his girlfriends to tell them that he's single.

    Life goes on...

    We've got our first official celebrity divorce of 2007! (Hey, somebody had to be it, right?)

    E_EmilieJosh_325.jpg

    Lost's Emilie de Ravin split from actor Josh Janowicz. Apparently keeping vows for more than a year was not a big resolution in Hollywood this year. The Aussie couple is keeping the short-marriage trend of 2006 alive. They called it quits after just six months of matrimony.

    A judge in Anna Nicole Smith's baby dispute has given the buxom blonde until January 23 to have her daughter, Dannielynn, undergo paternity testing sought by Anna Nicole's ex, Larry Birkhead.

    Who thinks the baby is Larry's and who thinks it's papa is Howard K. Stern? I'm going with Birkhead...

    Man, this is going to be some case.

    I said from day one that father of Madonna's new baby, David, was going to be trouble. Day one. The guy is going to be a thorn in Madge's side until she's six feet under. That's why she should have adopted a kid who was truly an orphan. Anyway, here's his latest quote about Madonna to Malawi's Daily Times.
    "I don't have her phone and mailing addresses. All I want is to find out how my son is but I don't know how I can do it," Yohane Banda said. "I only talked to her once at the High Court and I want to talk to her now and find out about my child. All I want is to find out how my child is doing and not to have him back."

    He may not want him back today, but he's gonna want him back eventually. I can smell it.

    Funny -- Madge is such a smart businesswoman yet she made such a stupid decision with this adoption.
